This summer, get outside and embrace a season of excitement and exploration at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole. This luxurious, five-star resort has recently been recognized as the #1 resort in Wyoming by U.S. News & World Report, and it’s easy to see why.
Surrounded by the majestic Teton mountain range, Jackson Hole is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes of rugged mountains, pristine lakes, meandering rivers and abundant wildlife, while also serving as the gateway to Yellowstone National Park. Located right at the mountain’s base in the charming neighborhood of Teton Village, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole is perfect for those seeking a summer getaway filled with adventure and relaxation; from families and nature enthusiasts to wellness seekers and arts and culture aficionados alike.
“Summer is a magical time in the mountains,” says Ryan Grande, general manager at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole. “Whether you choose to spend the day hiking or mountain biking, exploring the national parks or simply relaxing on property with an al fresco lunch, Jackson Hole is a destination where summer memories are made.”
New Wildlife Tour Through Yellowstone
For outdoor adventurers and wildlife lovers, a new and exclusive experience awaits at the northern tip of Yellowstone National Park. In partnership with Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris and Yellowstone Safari Company, Four Seasons offers an unforgettable day-long excursion. Begin your adventure with a private sunrise flight from Jackson Hole in a Swiss Pilatus aircraft, soaring over the stunning landscapes below. Accompanied by a team of naturalists and certified adventure experts, you’ll explore the American Serengeti, renowned for its abundant wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for awe-inspiring sightings of bison, bears, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, raptor, mule deer and more stunning animals in their natural habitats, while your expert guides share knowledgeable information about each species and the surrounding area.

It doesn’t have to be ski season to ascend the magnificent Tetons. Ride the “Big Red” Jackson Hole Aerial Tram up the mountain to soak up stunning, panoramic views from the top with a warm, homemade waffle from Corbet’s Cabin, a Jackson Hole classic, while the Bridger and Sweetwater Gondolas are also open for summer sightseeing.
Seasonal Wellness Experiences
If some well-deserved rest and relaxation is what you seek, treat yourself to a rejuvenating experience at The Spa. The Citrus Jasmine body polish treatment is a 60-minute blissful retreat, leaving your body invigorated and glowing. After a refreshing Swiss rainfall shower, a luxurious blend of moisturizing cream infused with heavenly jasmine and organic pink grapefruit essential oils is applied, invoking feelings of harmony and happiness. This indulgent seasonal treatment ($270) is now available for a limited time until August 31, 2023.
Other, year-round treatment highlights include the Wildcrafted Facial, that employs products with locally-derived natural ingredients, such as hand-cultivated wild arnica, chamomile, calendula, sage and Bakuchiol, known as the “clean retinol,” that will exfoliate, detoxify, brighten, stimulate collagen levels and infuse skin with intense hydration; and massage therapy treatments, including a classic Swedish massage and a therapeutic deep tissue massage.
To celebrate Global Wellness Day on June 10, guests can begin their day with a complimentary outdoor yoga class followed by a selection of refreshing complimentary juices to jumpstart the morning.
Delectable Dining
For an unforgettable dining experience, don’t hesitate to make a reservation at the resort’s signature restaurant, Westbank Grill. The steakhouse showcases a seasonal menu featuring mouth-watering cuts of meat sourced from local ranchers. Larger groups can savor the Harvest menu, a prix fixe menu of delectable options, such as bison tenderloin with huckleberry sauce and Idaho trout with chimichurri.
To cap off the evening, visit Ascent Lounge for a rotating selection of seasonal cocktails and delicious pan-Asian bites. Don’t miss the opportunity to try the Wyoming Whiskey Cocktail Flight, featuring different variations of Wyoming-distilled Whiskey.
Open just in time for long summer days, The Handle Bar serves up American pub-inspired fare, including soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches, alongside a wide selection of American and international beers and whiskeys that will hit the spot after a morning of exploring the great outdoors.
Art at the Heart
Jackson Hole has established itself as a prominent destination for art enthusiasts, joining the ranks of Scottsdale, Santa Fe, San Francisco and New York by earning the well-deserved title as the “Art Center of the Rockies.”
Also new this season at Four Seasons Jackson Hole is a special art collaboration with Gallery Wild, one of the town’s most prestigious western art galleries, that’s aptly called “Wild by Four Seasons.” The resort’s walls are decorated with more than 50 rotating artworks by 20 artists who have creatively translated Jackson Hole’s dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife into a broad range of artistic styles and mediums. All pieces are available for purchase by ease of a QR code, while curated programming, such as bespoke art walks and intimate artist receptions, is planned throughout the year as part of an ongoing partnership.
Meanwhile, culture and music enthusiasts will be jazzed to gather at the 62nd season of the Grand Teton Music Festival from June 30 – August 19, 2023. The festival will feature renowned guest artists, such as violinist James Ehnes, pianists Yefim Bronfman and Marc-André Hamelin, cellist Alisa Weilerstein, mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor, soprano Julia Bullock, and mandolinist/vocalist Chris Thile, among others. Prior to every performance, the Four Seasons Westbank Grill will open early at 5 p.m. so festivalgoers can fuel up beforehand. Concert attendees will also enjoy complimentary valet parking. After the show, make your way to the resort’s Ascent Lounge to unwind with a post-concert specialty cocktail, the perfect end to a melodious evening.
